Chapter 16

Adira’s POV

As Lyra and I ate breakfast, I found myself staring at the empty seat where Alpha Liam sat the night before at dinner. I hadn’t seen him this morning yet and I wondered if he had kept his promise to me that he would be staying in his office. Not that it really mattered because he hadn’t committed himself to me nor I him, but for some reason, I felt like what was between us was real.

Last night when Lyra and I crawled in his bed, it was the best night’s sleep I felt like I had ever had, as I pulled his blankets high around my neck taking in his delicious scent of elderberry and pine. Calming not only me but my wolf too, putting me into the deepest slumber. The only thing that would have been better is if he was in the bed with me, with those muscular arms of his wrapped around me like a protective blanket and breathing his scent directly from the source.

“They all look so tired and they are all looking in our direction.” Lyra says to me pulling me from my death stare
